Asking prices on abe.com range from US$1000 to ~$300.
Value depends on who is willing to buy it. 
Condition is extremely important to most collectors, and you need to
find someone who wants it, a dealer will only pay a small fraction of
the 'retail' price.
Your best bet may be to approach an auctioneer in your area who
specialises in books for an assessment and recommendations.
